Rosberg has been asking why webber did not hit the brakes to stop himself from rolling back onto the track.
I think Rosberg would have finished in the top 3.
I did wonder that, they show a replay of his hands off the wheel, and the wheel turns itself, its one of those situations I think where if he had his hands on the wheel he risks breaking his hands, the car was doing its own thing. Another replay from outside the car from other side of the track show the right front wheel up in the air, the left front was pooped, I'm fairly sure the car was turning on its own no matter what he did. Though it looked weird as after the spin he did seem to hit and be stuck along the wall for a while so looked odd that the car turned away from the wall.
Button was released behind the huge pack, then the SC came out. But a lot of people pitted before him at the back of the pack, I remember Brundle saying how they were faster because their inters were coming upto temp.
This is the thing though, If the guys he was released into had already pitted, and he pitted, then he couldn't have been far infront of them to start with to then get stuck behind them.
Or if say(I can't remember the places, just an example) he was 6th, there was a group say 10-12th 30 seconds back, he pitted, came out in the middle of them. How did they end up 30 seconds back and how did he end up in the middle of them.
I don't know because he wasn't that far down, he was only behind Schumi wasn't he when he pitted, and he came out of the SC which would have been 7th maybe? Gah, basically if he and everyone else from 7th backwards pitted, how did he end up stuck in a large group of people further back? I was under the impression inters weren't doing anything for pace at that stage of the race.
What would be great is(without rewatching it) there was a website that let you see a timeline, like a standings by the lap and flick through every lap and it lists who pitted when, that would make it so much easier.
I mean, if there was no safety car, Button pitted from 7th, ended up 30 seconds further back, then everyone else infront pits, lose 30 seconds, and its roughly as it was before.
With a safety car, button pits, loses 30 seconds, before everyone got picked up by the safety car, everyone pitted, dropped 30 seconds, then got in behind the safety car. Button didn't lose anything by pitting before the safety car, the only way you lose if you don't pit in the safety car, the field all gains on the front, then you pit and end up right at the back.
Basically I can't see what caused Button to pit, like everyone else, and end up dropping several places, then Sutil whacked him off and he dropped another couple.
